with it;
cts passed here in Florida and at the federal level guarantee victims the
right to meaningfully, participate in the criminal justice process;
Whereas victim service providers, advocates, law enforcement officers, attorneys, and other allied
professionals can help survivors find their justice by enforcing these rights;
Whereas victim service providers and allied professionals can reach more victims through innovative,
trauma-informed programs, such as telehealth services and multidisciplinary teams;
Whereas victim service providers and allied professionals can increase access to victim services and
compensation in areas that have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by
inequality by implementing culturally responsive services;
Now, therefore, I, David Rice, as Mayor of Monroe County, do hereby proclaim the week of April 2430,
service and criminal justice response that assists all victims of crime during Crime Vic
and throughout the year; and expressing our sincere gratitude and appreciation for those community
members, victim service providers, and criminal justice professionals who are committed to improving
our response to all victims of crime so that they may find relevant assistance, support, justice, and
peace.
